They did this over and over again (). Later, one of them ordered that, as he was going to cooperate, he should be taken to the public attorney's office (Procuradoría) () and once he was in an office he started to retract and so they started to hit him again (). Between blows and threats, they said `You'd better pray that we can pick up your friends, or we'll have to put you down' () and they forced him to sign a confession that he had never made.
Lo anterior lo hicieron infinidad de veces (…) Posteriormente uno de ellos ordenó "que en vista de que ya iba a cooperar lo llevaran a la Procuraduría" (…) y una vez estando en una oficina se volvió a retractar y por eso lo volvieron a golpear (…) Entre golpes y amenazas le decían "pídele a Dios que se logre la captura de tus … amigos, si no te tenemos que sacrificar" (…) obligándolo a firmar una confesión que nunca de su voz salió".
